The crowd paid little or no respect to every player out there tonight.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The players get no respect around here. They give you money, that's it, not respect. We get constantly dogged and players from other teams love to see that. That's why nobody wants to play here.
I try to respect everybody out here: players, caddies, fans, media.
If guys don't respect themselves, they don't respect other people. That's times and personalities. And all of them are not that way. But it don't take but one or two to screw up the whole crowd.
I think I earned the players' respect, and that's the ultimate in life, isn't it? I didn't care if they liked me or disliked me, as long as I had their respect.
People are proud of their players.
If we have no respect for our viewers, then how can we have any respect for ourselves and what we do?
I didn't do this by myself, man. It was so many people, so many fans that came in there and cheered for me, night in and night out.
When you get the respect of the fans, it's very hard not to be happy.
The fans treated me royally.
Obviously, that off-the-ice battle I went through, plus injuries I came back from, I always felt the fans are really knowledgeable there and respected and appreciated guys that gave whatever they had and guys that fought through things.
